Parallel Mechanical & PCB Design

By providing a complete, integrated 3D mechanical and electrical solution, Zuken has simplified the design of 3D electrical systems and eliminated the time consuming and costly need for shifting multiple design data between 3D mechanical and 2D PCB worlds.

Zuken's solution not only overcomes traditional problems, but equips designers with tools to explore new approaches in creating smaller, lighter, 'function-shaped' products or assemblies. The solutions combine to provide a clear design process for the correct-first-time electrical design of tight-enclosure PCBs, flexible boards or MIDs, with complex routing delivered quickly and accurately with Zuken's CR-5000 Board Designer.

The co-design environment is based on a single design and analysis database for both mechanical and electrical rules with guaranteed connectivity and design rule compliance. Zuken's solution integrates with existing MCAD and CAE packages, helping you get the most out of your installed investments by simplifying data transfers, and extending their function with true 3D analysis of substrate, components and obstacles.

Board Interchanger

Board Interchanger integrates directly with the CATIA V5 MCAD system and gives the MCAD engineer access to Board Designer layout structures with all material properties.
